Upper Denton

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales
described Upper Denton like this:

Post town, Gilsland, under Carlisle. Acres, 860. Real property, £1, 478. ...

Pop., 100. Houses, 22. The property is divided among a few. The living is a vicarage, united with Gilsland, in the diocese of Carlisle. Value, £123. Patron, G. G. Mounsey, Esq. The church is small, very old, and probably includes some Saxon work; and the churchyard contains the grave of Meg Tasdale, the "Meg Merrilies" of Sir Walter Scott.
